Chapter 1266

Just as light restrains darkness.

With the Seven Seas Lord's mastery over the Water Dao, Lin Yan would need to reveal several true trump cards to kill him.

Those trump cards, for instance, include combining two divine powers to burn together, or the power of time.

The other several Dao Lords are no easy foes either.

They all wield the Fire Dao.

Fire is the power they are most familiar with.

So, at this stage, blocking Lin Yan's flames poses no problem for them.

As for fleeing, they never even considered it.

Even if flames surrounded them entirely, they saw nothing alarming.

This is precisely what they excel at.

Moreover, with four against one, to flee without fighting when under attack would render the Seven Seas Lord's and Fire Lord's reputations meaningless.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the flames surged again, and the temperature rose another step.

In addition, the Fire Lord began radiating a dangerous aura.

The Seven Seas Lord's eyes flickered.

This time, he had agreed with the Five-Star Ancient God: he would test the Fire Lord's trump cards, and then the Five-Star Ancient God, Azure Dragon Supreme, would strike the most lethal blow.

So, the Seven Seas Lord had no fear of failure.

He and the Five-Star Ancient God, Azure Dragon Supreme, together were already equivalent to half a Main God!

Even as the flames surged, the Seven Seas Lord remained unperturbed.

Within the Spirit God Realm, the forces of water and fire clashed endlessly.

"The Fire Lord is battling the Seven Seas Lord!"

The watching gods saw this scene and immediately understood: the Seven Seas Lord was locked in fierce combat with the Fire Lord.

Yet, they still could not see the Seven Seas Lord.

They could only see endless water continuously clashing with blazing, all-consuming fire.

This water was no ordinary water.

It was denser and contained more energy than the waters of the Heavenly Ocean.

Its quantity was also astonishing.

But no matter how much water emerged, it vanished instantly.

Both sides indeed appeared to be competing in the sheer volume of divine power.

After all, driving such massive confrontations required enormous Dao consumption.

Around the Seven Seas Lord, the Fire Lord frowned.

His spear could not absorb even a single wisp of flame, which puzzled him.

In the past, even flames released by other Dao Lords could easily be absorbed by his spear and converted into its energy.

But now, these flames remained utterly unmoved.

Abnormal.

This was far too abnormal.

Moreover, these flames, while burning, seemed to involve spatial power, drastically reducing the range the Fire Lord could perceive.

Even the Fire Lord felt disoriented in direction—he now found it extremely difficult to locate Lin Yan's divine realm.

"Could it be…"

The Fire Lord reviewed Lin Yan's past battles, and finally, he realized something—he narrowed his eyes and said:

"The reason my Infernal Spear cannot absorb these flames is not due to any other cause, but because—you, the Fire Lord, are the flame itself!"

The Fire Lord had discovered the secret so quickly!

"Fire Lord, your true form is flame? Hahaha! Heaven aids me indeed—if I destroy your soul and claim your flames, I'll be just one step away from the Main God Society!"

The Fire Lord laughed loudly.

His words did not reach outside, but they startled the other two Dao Lords and the Seven Seas Lord.

"No wonder."

The other two Dao Lords finally understood why, when the Fire Lord fought other powerful beings, he never gained the upper hand at first—but once his flames erupted, he always crushed his opponents.

It was not because the flames he released were exceptionally powerful.

It was because the Fire Lord himself was likely flame!

As a Dao Lord, he had seen countless life forms.

So, this secret, astonishing to ordinary beings, was not especially shocking to a peak Dao Lord.

"So that's it. Fire Lord, I wonder if the Ocean Goddess would still favor you if she knew your true form."

The Seven Seas Lord finally understood.

At this moment, he sensed something.

"Hmph, you think sealing off all space within the Spirit God Realm leaves us powerless? Hah! We never intended to flee—even if you are flame, be extinguished!"

The Seven Seas Lord roared, then expended vast amounts of power to activate the Water Dao.

Instantly, the entire Spirit God Realm filled with water.

Yet, despite the flames burning at temperatures of millions of degrees, the water did not evaporate!

Instead, it coexisted miraculously with the fire!

Water and fire are incompatible.

But at this moment, the water completely filled the Elven Divine Domain, and fire also permeated the entire Elven Divine Domain; water and fire thoroughly merged together.

And Tianlan Zunzhu also moved.

His long spear trembled, about to forcibly break through the spatial blockade of the Elven Divine Domain.

For him, this was not difficult.

But the next second, the flames in his eyes suddenly sped up countless times over.

Before his thoughts could even arise, he saw the flames—at an unrivaled, extreme speed—directly shatter the Lord of the Seven Seas' water wall, burn all the water in the entire Elven Divine Domain dry in one go, and burn the Lord of the Seven Seas' power of the Water Law completely to nothing.

Then…

Those flames just burned directly onto the Lord of the Seven Seas' body.

And the Lord of the Seven Seas seemed to have noticed, but the Lord of the Seven Seas' reaction was far too slow—slow beyond reason.

No, it wasn't that the Lord of the Seven Seas' reaction was slow.

In their vision, they only saw Lin Yan become countless times faster.

Those flames, in an instant, also broke through the defenses driven by the two great Law Lords against the Lord of Fire.

And even though those two great Law Lords were extremely powerful, at this moment they could only watch helplessly as the flames slammed into their defensive line.

Because those flames were truly too fast and too fierce.

So fast that they had no time to react at all.

Then, the flames once again burned onto the bodies of those two Law Lords.

"This…"

A thought finally rose in Tianlan Zunzhu's mind.

"Boom—!"

Immediately after, he sensed something was wrong, but his movements were far, far too slow—slow to the point that before he even had time to lower his head, his lower half had already been burned to ashes by the flames.

And he still seemed unaware, yet he saw that the Lord of the Seven Seas had also been devoured by the flames.

"Ahhhhh~"

Finally, the speed of the flames—which had been as if a fast-forward button had been pressed countless times over—suddenly stopped.

Then, within the Elven Divine Domain, a miserable shriek from a burning Law Lord rang out.

"This… could it be time?"

Tianlan Zunzhu was indeed well-informed and experienced; in an extraordinarily short time, he actually guessed Lin Yan's true method.

But it was already too late.

He couldn't even transmit this guess of his before he was directly dealt with by Lin Yan.

As for the Lord of the Seven Seas, he had long since received Lin Yan's Heavy Burden and was the first to be burned to ashes!

Being able to receive Lin Yan's Heavy Burden could be considered not a disgrace to his status.
